Lazarou's movie Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pig Flu]

i love u giant squid!

I'm a fan of your past work, I absolutely love your cow in a tree song, that is too awesome for words.

Like some others are saying, I'm getting problems with the audio, altho for me the voices are way too quiet, had to turn my speakers up to be able to make out what they were saying, then was nearly deafened when the sound effects kicked in.

I love your animation style, altho I think I missed the punchline in this one, because when I turned down my sound to protect my ears, I missed the last bit and didnt hear what he said :(
Perhaps add some subtitles until you figure out what is causing the volume issues ;)

giantsquid responds:

I readjusted the volume to be considerably louder, and uploaded it again. I'm not sure if the new version is appearing when people click on the "watch this movie" button or not. I get the impression that other people are hearing something significantly different from what I am, if the problem really is that obvious...

But thanks for your comments and praise, Lazarou! I'm flattered! :)

[Chocolate Cake]

Cute

It wasn't as bad as people are making out.

The main problem is that the poem it is based on is really bad.

I think considering the plot you had to work with was pretty cruddy, you did a fairly decent job.

things to note for future reference:
-Whilst it is easier to animate people made of geometric shapes, they look incredibly fake. Try to soften the shapes, if in doubt trace around a photo and then break it into seperate MCs to animate each joint.

-The sound effect of eating the cake sounded a little bit like, well, something very rude. Some more obvious chomping and scoffing noises would be better than the current slimy, sloppy noise you have.

Keep up the hard work, its obvious that your knowledge of flash is increasing with each movie you make.

andy70707 responds:

thanks, I still have another day, so I might get rid of the outlines around the joints in the people and soften them up, like you said.

[Batman Meets Twoface]

Great art, script sucks

I can't flaw your art or animation, they are excellent.

You should really get someone else to write your material though. It just wasn't funny. Maybe like a 12 year old would laugh at the gay jokes, but I dunno, just seemed too obvious. Seemed a shame, as the animation was great, just was boring and tedious to watch.

[Frog]

Loved it!

What a cool movie. Really suits the music, great job! Just fun to watch (and dance along with!) :D

[Think!]

nice

not a bad movie, nice bit of anti-chav media is always enjoyable. My only critisicm would be to sort your perspective out, the angle at which that guy was sitting compared to the rest of the car was quite confusing, it looked like he had an arm growing out of his chest.

fulham89 responds:

Perhaps he DID have an arm growing out of his chest...no, no, that's an oversight on my part. Bummer.

Anyway, thanks for the constructive review!

[Waterlollies]

i'm speechless

You are amazing dude, no one else in the world can make flash do what you can do, you should be so proud that you can create something so beautiful. Your worlds are so detailed and intricate, absolutley flawless animations, so much time and effort has been put into every single frame, I bow down before you, you sir are a flash god.
I have been captivated since your first bitey movie, and I have loved every single one since. Please keep going with this, you are absolutely amazing.
If it was posible I would give you 100 stars, but they only go up to 10.

[//Biochemistry]

I'm a biochemist!

I have a degree in biochemistry. I am starting a job tommorrow making dog leads.

true story.

In reference to your movie, It was pretty nice, although at the start you lingered on the whole "earth element" thing a bit too long, it was a bit to phillosophical for my liking. Also, you didnt really talk much about what biochemists actually studied, it was a fair overview, but a little bit of detail such as some specific cellular proccess of interest to biochemists (ATP synthesis, metabolic pathways, transportation of substances across lipid bi-layers, etc) would have perhaps shown a more indepth knowledge of the subject.

so yeah, add dog lead maker as possible career choice for biochemists.

Perriwinkle responds:

You must understand that i was rushed, with limited resources, and with very low talent in flash. I was really trying to make it both flashy and in sync with the song.

I did make a nice poster though :D
